but i doubt you're as noob as me, last night was really a mess, and i almost crashed head on collision with dunno-what-the-heck-was-that during my maiden voyage, and the SA sweat, so he voluteer to drive my car back, and this morning, i come to work still by bike, FML...

um, i wanna ask something, changing air filter and spark plug can improve performance and FC efficiency? i tot some magnet like fuelsaver?

um guys, last night when i park my car, i accidentally forward too much, and my front bumper hit the road shoulder cement, i realised that by those sounds, then i retreat, then i come down from my car to have a look, crap, my front left bumper loosen! bcos the screw placeholders are broken, and i plan to take to workshop to do, any1 know how much it cost to repair it?

well, the placeholder for the clips is broken, it happens when the bumper is forcefully removed(man, proton car bumper is LDPC). not that obvious when looking from a distance, abt 3m, but if look closely, the gap is wider compared to right side, daymn! new car only, 5 days old, i messed it up, luckily no bumps or dents

how serious is serious? i dunno how to describe...i'll go take a picture and post here later...

overall my car damage:



closer look to part 1:

unknown damage, seems like the plastic was teared off

part 2:

the clips is torn

part 3:

same above

how much is the cost in kl overall?later gonna take to workshop to do...

rivet? siao ah, i plan to change bumper around mid 2011 leh...cant rivet

means what?sorry, i really very noob in mechanics. means screw another hole from the inside? isnt worth if they could fix the plastic bumber hole thingy?

so the main body inner part sure kena drill a hole?

i just consulted my friend who work as mechanic, he has done some checking, and ask me when i bought my car, i said just 5 days ago, then he advise me take to service centre or consult the SA on this to claim the warranty to change the whole bumper, basically this thing is beyond repair, of course i dont think i like to drill holes to my 5 days car. cos he told me similar case occured to his friend before. so i'll drop them a call tomorrow...

oh update a little bit, my friend told me even if rivet, the alignment wouldnt be the same. so i'll try my luck with the warranty claim. wish me luck persona lyn club...

what is CoSE? um, hit a hole on the road consider accident, not really carelessness, cant avoid it bcos the road is narrow

CoSE kinda far from my place, i'm living ner old klang road there. i plan to go to the serdang SC to give it a try, as my SA recommended me, and they are affiliated somehow.

update: just called my SA, he cant guarantee it can be claimed under warranty, need to drive to his place to check and see...

the SC said so too, anyway i wanna try my luck...

what about hit a hole on the road?

mind your words. before you branded my thoughts as sick scheme, i already consulted the SC, they said they need to see it before can can give me an answer, which i do not wish to pursue.
if you dont like what i said, pm me, what a sicko are you to embarrass me like that, go get a life dude.

Added on January 4, 2011, 7:31 amthanks. rather than giving offensive remarks, human relationship can be improved via healthy and constructive remark. i do now wish to pursue with claiming warranty, cos the machanic suggest me do claim warranty, and i find him cos he's the only 1 i can trust in kl, and i'm not local here, and my intention of finding him is to spend money to repair my own carelessness, and yesterday i've been thinking all day it was as though cheating them. so i give up, and find a best solution to get my car fixed up.

it's not abt accepting accidents are part & parcel of owning a car, it's abt how you live it. i take it as opportunity to learn more abt automotives. this is how i learn to troubleshoot pc, even though uni didnt teach, and i always service my friends' pc, my friends friend's pc, without asking a single cent for them.

hurting? no, he's not my relatives, not even my friends, not worth hurting. i take it as offensive remarks.
this is my 1st car, i dont even own any second hand datsun prior to this, cos my family cannot afford to own me a car, but paying with my own sweat and blood, i feel happy for it. at least i can learn how to drive properly, upholding defensive driving all the time, cruise highway less than 60km/h at north south highway, etc. it's normal for ppl who will stumble across every options to solve problems. and before reading this ill intention post, i already decided it is wrong to cheat ppl like that.
and the more damage i got for my car, it was like a blessing and protection for me to learn more abt mechanics without having a more substantive damage, i.e, dents.
just 3 days my car got scratches, and a neighbour of mine pass by, he offered to go up just to take the polish wax to help me get rid of it without hoping any return from me!
if i were as wicked as you think, mr rckh, would he treat me like that, just staying in kl for less than 5 months? you'll help a stranger to polish his new car's scratches? my houseowner, more than 5 years, never interact with them, and summore, my neighbour is indian!
he even invite me yesterday evening after work, we'll go for a drink before end of this month.

again, a gentle reminder, go get a life dude, seriously, you need to put extra hard effort in human relation management

not fighting, rather, insisting to make constructive and healthy topics, instead of jumping to conclusion without further investigation, which bring indifference and a certain degree of inconveniences.

btw, care to recommend me any workshop to fix my broken brackets? i really need to learn more on automotives and improving my driving skills

i dunno how to call that stuff, the bolts and nuts hold both main body and plastic bumper together, and i noticed, the plastic bumper, which is weaker, was torn off into squarry pieces, which still hold by nuts. i dunno how they gonna fix it, super glue the plastic part?

hmmm... get it replace isnt something wise to be done. you mean using a larger-than-bumper-hole-for-the-bolts steel bracket to fit under the bumper?

i drive manual, and i always facing problems such engine stalled due to improper clutch handling, luckily, kl ppl are very nice and most of them very patient, most of them understand what happened when my car wont move. i took off my shoes all the time to drive, lol...

mine is PE, WUR... but i'm not around usj 1 lol, i'll be back pg end of this month, and i'll consider move to kl permanently, maybe puchong...
